If the boiler is mounted on top of a horizontal
hot water tank, the adjustable feet are not
needed.

5 Installing the boiler
This chapter details how to install your boiler correctly.
The individual steps involved are:
– Connecting the flue
– Connecting the water pipes
– Making the electrical connections
– Fitting the burner
– Connecting the fuel supply
5.1 Flue pipe installation
5.1.1 Chimney venting
Connect boiler to vertical chimney with a 5" vent pipe.
Use only venting systems that comply with local codes
and regulations.
If local codes are not existent, refer the the following reg-
ulations:
– NFPA 31, Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment,
– NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fire Places and
Solid Fuel Burning Appliances,
– In Canada refer to CSA B139, Installation Code for Oil-
Burning Equipment,
– NFPA 211 requires chimney to be lined before con-
necting boiler.
Inspecting and cleaning existing flue
Before installing the new boiler, check and clean the old
flue system.
V Remove blockages and dirt from the chimney.
V Clean chimney.
V Repair or replace faulty sections.
V If necessary, repair chimney with mortar and joints.
Down drafts
To prevent down drafts extend chimney at
least 3 feet above the roof opening and at
least 2 feet above any part of the roof within
a radius of 10 feet.

Minimum clearances to combustible material
Minimum size of chimney
The minimum recommended chimney size is 8" x 8"
(6 ¾" x 6 ¾" inside liner) or 6" diameter with a minimum
height of 15 feet. Use a 5" flue pipe for connection to an
existing chimney.
Installing the flue pipe
V Insert flue pipe 5" onto the breach and secure with
3 screws.
V Install flue connections between boiler and chimney to
slope up at least ¼" per foot to the chimney.
V Connect the flue pipe to the chimney above the bottom
of the chimney to prevent blockages.
V Install cleaning and service hatches.
After starting the burner, set breeching draft to -0.01 to
-0.02 inches WC using a draft gauge. The overfire pres-
sure can be positive. If necessary, install a barometric
damper in the flue system to maintain the underpressure
in the system or to meet code requirements. Always install
the draft controller in vertical position. Use a draft gauge
when making adjustments.

Danger: Risk of death from escaping flue
gases.
If the resistance to flue gas flow is too great
and/or the flue pipe diameter is smaller than
the recommended size and/or the flue pipe is
too short:
V Seal all vent pipe joints.
V Install a CO alarm. Positive pressure com-
bustion ensures that the flue gas can exit
the flue system.
Avoid long horizontal flue pipe runs and keep
the number of elbows to a minimum.

5.2 Fitting the water connections
5.2.1 Fitting the B-kit
The safety relief valve and the pressure/temperature
gauge are mounted on the supply manifold (included in B-
Kit) on the VK boiler supply connection as follows:
V Fit and seal unmarked end of double nipple into con-
nection VK on the boiler.
V Converter is paint-marked pink and stamped with the
designation NPT on the end with the 1¼" NPT thread.
Fig. 13 Checking thread length on double nipple
V Seal 90° 1¼" NPT street elbow on double nipple.
V Fit and seal manifold to 90° elbow. The manifold can
face in different directions (Æ Fig. 14).
V Seal pressure/temperature gauge to supply manifold.

Caution: Risk of system damage from leak-
ing connections.
V Support the pipes to the boiler to prevent
them from being under stress.
Do not fit the safety valve until the leak test
(Æ Chapter 5.3, page 21) has been com-
pleted.
The relief valve must be installed in a vertical
position.
We recommend installing a dirt filter (option-
al) in the boiler return connection to reduce
build-up of debris on the water side.
